At Canucks Autism Network, we strive to meet the needs of each Autistic individual through participant collaboration. Our staff receive training to facilitate participation independently or with close support. In virtual programs, program staff facilitate and moderate discussion.

Please do not hesitate to speak with our staff on-site about support needs or strategies that most benefit you (e.g., sensory sensitivities, use of visual cues, etc).
